1922 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 31 FRANCES HOOD MASON (“Twinny”) Motto: “Laugh at any mortal thing.” CLASS HISTORIAN, CLEANER BOARD (3) (4), CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE, SECRETARY OF THE CIRl-’S A. A., COLONIAL DAMES PRIZE, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRIZE Here is the lady that takes the prize when it comes to carrying away the 5’s. They’re not the kind that are carefully changed over from 3’s either; they're the genuine article. Her favorite study is English (for proof please see prizes mentioned above) and, keep it dark, we think she must like Latin too, the way she pours forth “Virgil” translations. But her shoulders are broad enough to bear all this responsibilty. Her regular pastime is telling “fiction” (Mark Twain the second) and dieting ( ? ? (. She does reducing exercises every day, that is, she takes a walk down town every day for her health (incidentally to see the styles). She’s a good sport, and is frequently “among those present” at the school games. She’s quite strong on tennis and will be a champion some day, maybe. Next year “Twinny” is going to journey in to Brown to see how much brother knows. We know she’ll succeed there as has at P. H. S. ELEANOR KATHLEEN McACEVY (“El”) Motto: Nothing ventured, nothing won. Here's Eleanor with her dreamy eyes and pink and whiti “El” has a hard time to keep awake in school. You see, she is so busy every night entertaining, or being entertained, that she is usually rather tired by the time she gets to school. Eleanor does her bit for all school activities, but she excels at the dances. She chooses United States History as her favorite study. We can’t blame her for that, because she has it with Miss Osborne in dear old Room 24. Eleanor follows her motto and succeeds too, because there are but few that she tackles and does not conquor. R. I. C. E. will welcome Eleanor in the fall. Don’t forget us, “El!” Pawtucket fellows are just as good-looking as anything at Providence College. HUGH JAMES McCAUGHEY “Mack,” “The Janitor”! Motto: “Don’t let your right hand know what your left holds.” FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), BASEBALL (1) (2) (3) (4), CAPTAIN (4), HOCKEY (3) (4), CAPTAIN (4), MEMBER OF CAST IN “suicide club” (4) “Mack” has been one of the leading athletes of the school for several years. The past year also made the best center of any football team in the state. He has also made a name for himself in baseball, playing on the team for four years. During school hours “Mack” is a quiet appearing fellow, and with that innocent look of his, he can get away with anything. He is about the most popular fellow in school, and you can't help liking him. “Mack” is undecided as to what he will do next year, but he isn’t worrying, so why should we?

30 1922 CHARLES SEYMOUR MACOMBER (“Chick,” “Mack”) Motto: “All or nothing” This is “goggles” who sits in room 20. He doesn’t say much and he doesn’t do much. Charlie is a “dead-eye-dick” with erasers. Doesn t know what his favorite study is because he’s never tried studying. His ambition is to become an acrobat in a side show. He has a melodious tenor voice, if it were trained, and a good many more assets. May his successes he multitudinous and come with celeritv. HELEN ISABELLE MALONEY Motto: “Mieux tard que jamais.” Here is one of our quietest pupils but, nevertheless, a much liked one. She comes to us from Darlington’s “wilds,” and every morning she appears with a smile. Her favorite subject is Spanish, and she is very efficient in it to say the least. Her marks in that subject would alone prove it. Next year she expects to enter the Rhode Island College of Education, and we wish her much success and happiness (for the future), both of which we are sure she will obtji CASPAR I) GEORGE MARTIN (“Frog,” “Gap” ) Motto: “Whatever you want, try and get it” Gap” is one of the Macomber’s gang of chalk and eraser heavers in Room 25. At recess when the dust fills the corridors, someone says. “Martin’s ofT,” and everybody scurries for shelter. “Frog” has a hard time dodging the “Corridor Cops.” His favorite study is history and we hope he will soon be making history in the business world. Your motto doesn’t include the lunch-counter, does it, Gap? Next year Gaspard, king of the “puddle-jumpers,” will enter into business with the best wishes of his classmates. Take it easy, Gap. JEAN REID MARTIN SECRETARY OF DRAMATIC SOCIETY, CAST “iCI l’o.N PARLE FRANCAIS” Now it came to pass that there was born to the house of Martin a daughter Jean. And when Jean had attained to the age of about three years these mystic words were spoken to her by an angel who didst appear in a vision. Eat when you’re hungry Drink when you’re dry Always be merry And you’ll live till you die. And behold, Jean didst obey the instructions which the angel had commanded unto her and didst wax exceedingly merry and exceedingly plump. And when she had reached a fitting age, she was admitted into the portals of the Land of Learning, and behold, if any other inhabitants of the land were in doldrums. Jean did appear unto them and straightway the doldrums were sat upon.

32 PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL 1922 MARY GERTRUDE McCAUGHEY Motto: “Time and tide wait for no man” Mary is one of the best history students Room 17 ran produce. Perhaps that accounts for history being her favorite study, however, bookkeeping comes in as a close second. She is a typing star, and will make a fine bookkeeper. She is full of fun and is very well liked by everyone. Next vear Mary expects to enter an office, and we all extend our best wishes to her. LEO EDWARD McDONALD (“Mack”) Motto: “Take it easy. “Still water runs deep.” “Mack ’ doesn t say much but. “actions speak louder than words.” He has spent a good deal of time in Mr. Arnold’s woodworking shop, where he has turned out many fine pieces of work. He expects to enter the business world next year and all the members of the class of 22 wish him the best of luck. f l°toO r A KATHRYN FRANCES McGARRY r‘Kay”l Motto: “To think is to act” Tee, hee—giggle, giggle, and I said, buzz, buzz, and he said—more buzzes. 0. that’s Kay giggling as usual and telling her sidekicker about the wild time she had last night. For, you know, Kay is very seldom in. at night. We know from experience. However, this fact doesn’t seem to bother her studies, because the 5’s come rolling in just the same. How do you manage it, Kay? Applied Design is her favorite subject and we see various young men around school wearing specimens of her handiwork. Rather a snappy motto, Kay. but you had better control your thoughts. All the athletic events see Kay on deck with flying colors for although she likes all the men in general she likes the athletic men in particular. She expects to enter R. I. C. E. in September, so long. Kay. CLARE FRANCES McHUGH (“Kid”i Motto: “No matter what happens, grin .” “Who is that child?” Why. that’s Clare and she’s not a child, she’s a dignified senior, very dignified. Clare is very fond of dancing and is continually trying to excel Pavlowa, so that sometimes she has to answer, “not prepared.” to her teachers. Nevertheless, her reports always have their share of good marks. Clare’s motto, like herself, is short and snappy and she follows it admirably. She says that she has enjoyed French more than any other study while in P. 11. S. Clare intends to go to some Business College in the fall and continue her studies so well begun in P. H. S. We know you’ll be a success. “Kid.”
